Over his 15 seasons at Alabama, Nick Saban has not only had to recruit the top talents in the nation to help replace his players who’ve moved onto the NFL but he’s also scoured the nation to fill the gaps on his coaching staff.
Saban has seen 18 of his former assistants alone move on to become head coaches at the college or pro-level so when the seven-time national champion is impressed by a young coach’s ability then he could be something special.
On Sunday during Alabama’s media day, Saban singled out tight end coach Joe Cox when discussing his four new additions to the staff sharing his excitement to have in with the Crimson Tide.
